Literature Text
How can you sit there
With a smile on your face
While I’m hardly breathing
Painted picture in my mind
The smile that didn’t really
Reach your eyes
Muffled by my cries
Ice cold blades
Tear my soul apart
I clutch my sides
To hold myself together
Virtual tour
That stabs me in the back
While you turn the knife again
It’s sad cause
I thought it’d be forever
I thought we’d be together
Now to realize I’ve made no progress
At all
I see I’m
Walking backwards
Walking backwards like before
I’m going nowhere
Trying to hold onto something more
I’m on the edge of what is real
And what is worth believing
I’m walking backwards
But I can’t bear leaving
Breathing deeply for fear of the world
Or maybe just hyperventilating
On the edge of the world
With nothing to believe in
It’s all I can do to keep myself from falling
Constantly stressing
Everything’s depressing
Especially when I think of you
Nothing is changing
Just the words are rearranging
I can’t even see clear
I can’t seem to win
You were the only place I fit in
Lay on your anti-depressants
It’s three a day from here
Virtual tour
That stabs me in the back
While you turn the knife again
Pictures burning
I’ve given up learning
Even though I won’t get anywhere
By living in my pain
Can’t you see I’m walking backwards?
Won’t you save me from
Walking backwards
Walking backwards like before
I’m going nowhere
Trying to hold onto something more
I’m on the edge of what is real
And what is worth believing
I’m walking backwards
But I can’t bear leaving
One day
There was a place and time
That I actually thought
I was over you
Some day
There will be a place in time
That I will actually believe
That I’m telling the truth
And the rain it falls
Drowning me in my sorrows
And the wind it calls
Speaking to me in the only voice I ever knew
What could have been with me and you
Walking backwards
Walking backwards like before
I’m going nowhere
Trying to hold onto something more
I’m on the edge of what is real
And what is worth believing
I’m walking backwards
But I can’t bear leaving
Can’t you see I’m walking backwards?
Drowning in memories
I’m falling backwards
Won’t you save me?
With a smile on your face
While I’m hardly breathing
Painted picture in my mind
The smile that didn’t really
Reach your eyes
Muffled by my cries
Ice cold blades
Tear my soul apart
I clutch my sides
To hold myself together

Most of the lines are pretty new. Though, I wrote the opening in sixth grade and the chorus in seventh. Basically, this one has many bits and pieces that I loved and they finally meshed together to form something cohesive that doesn't completely suck.
As I said, a lot of the lines are completely new. And the bits I had lying around have brought with them a new context that I saw was applied to them.
So if all that incoherent mumble-jumble made any sense to you, congratulations. You get an award. I'm not really making much sense to myself, honestly. I've been confusing people all day without realizing that what I have been saying makes absolutely no sense. I left two people voicemails and neither could understand either of them. I guess this is what comes from me being sick. I get a bit delusional. And I babble. Sorry for the unnecessarily long description that had almost nothing to do with the song.
